Objects First with Java

Objects First with Java: A Practical Introduction Using BlueJ, Global Edition is a clear and accessible introduction to object-oriented programming. This book presents fundamental programming and software development concepts using the Java language and the BlueJ development environment, making it an ideal starting point for students with no previous programming experience. The text is structured around software engineering ideas rather than just the syntax of Java, ensuring that readers develop a meaningful understanding of classes and objects through visualisation and practical examples. Advanced chapters progressively introduce more sophisticated concepts, accommodating both beginners and experienced programmers looking to deepen their understanding. Now in its sixth edition, this edition not only revisits core programming principles but also reflects modern programming trends such as functional programming ideas. This thoughtful blend of theory and practice equips students with the essential tools needed to succeed in an ever-evolving technological landscape.
